Need to pick my brain about something specific? General consultancy covers pretty much anything formulation-related that doesn’t fit neatly into one of the other service categories. This might be ingredient selection advice, supplier recommendations, help understanding a technical data sheet, guidance on choosing between two approaches for a formulation challenge, or just a general chat about how to tackle a particular project.
Sessions can be conducted via video call, phone, or email (whichever works best for you). I’ll provide follow-up notes after each session summarising what we discussed and any action items.
$180 AUD per hour. Minimum booking is one hour. Time is tracked in 15-minute increments after the first hour.
Flexible, hourly access to cosmetic chemistry expertise. This is for when you need professional guidance on a specific issue but don’t need a full service package. Perfect for ingredient research, problem diagnosis, regulatory guidance, or working through a specific formulation challenge.
